The October 1 episode of NXT was important as it marked the shows debut on the CW Network, and fans enjoyed a night filled with memorable moments. As NXT continues its road tour, the next episode on October 8 will be held at The Factory in Chesterfield, Missouri, which is part of the St. Louis market. Contrary to earlier suggestions, fans in St. Louis will not be watching the show on a tape delay.
Previous listings showed that KPLR Channel 11, the CW Networks St. Louis affiliate, chose to air local news during NXTs regular broadcast time. Consequently, the show would have been aired on a tape delay from 9 to 11 PM instead of its usual 8 PM slot.
However, according to PWInsider, clarification was given. KPLR in St. Louis announced that the show will air on Tuesday nights from 8 PM to 10 PM on St. Louis 11. KPLR-TVs news program will continue to air at 7 PM. The network has noticed that some listings companies have incorrect times listed for NXT and is working to fix this issue.
Full WWE NXT Card for October 8:
- NXT North American Championship: Oba Femi (c) vs. Tony DAngelo
- NXT Tag Team Championships: Fraxiom (Nathan Frazer & Axiom) (c) vs. A-Town Down Under (Grayson Waller & Austin Theory)
- Randy Orton vs. JeVon Evans
- Sexyy Red appearance
- Bianca Belair, Jade Cargill & Kelani Jordan vs. Fatal Influence
The October 8th edition ofNXTpromises to be packed with action, includingRandy Ortons return to the ring, as well as several championship matches and a special appearance by rapper Sexyy Red. Therefore, fans can look forward to a solid night of wrestling entertainment next week now that it will air without any delay.
